From: BobG on 8 May 2010 14:46 I bet one print (with the mushy sound) had an optical sound track and the other print had a mag stripe on the edge for the audio. The specs for mag tape are well known, and regular old 16bit 44khz CDs sound a lot better, I think the optical track has worse signal to noise ratio than the mag tape. Every spec of dust is a click or pop just like a record.

What is it? you mean other than an audiophool term? frequency spread? some frequencies heavily attenuated? reverb? > Can it be processed to clean it up? as much of the distortion as can be characterised without a random term or a zero term can probably be reversed > ...Jim Thompson --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---
